Welcome Foots! Appreciate the input from someone who has had the pleasure of watching and coaching Kyle. I observed Kyle at the Peach Jam with the Playaz and
saw video of the City of Palms. He has an extremely high ceiling and I look forward to seeing his continued growth over the next few years.

He can run the point on the highest level simply because he knows when to get rid of the ball and to who it should go to and at what spot on the court. His
issue will be, will he play for a coach that will know how to use him and how to max his efforts on D. He is not good at staying in front of small point guards
in full court pressure but he knows how to use his length in a half court D set. So a good coach would know when and where to play him on D. When I coached him
(13U-15U), I played him at the top of our 2-3 because he was not physical enough to bang but had long arms and could get the long rebounds making him a very
good rebounder. I think what people fail to realize him when they see him now is that doesn't know how to play the 2,3,or 4 nor does he have the confidence
to score like those positions require you to do. This only his second year playing without the ball in his hands and it is a good thing to learn but it's
gonna take time for him to get confident with it, hence, the reason he passes up open shots. He will be alright.

Paterson has just been crushing opponents. Kyle is playing well, but the game have been such blowouts that there are not really any monster numbers for anyone to put up. They are certainly a top 5 team in the country.

Kyle Anderson (New Jersey Playaz, 2012)- As good a scorers as Davis and Myles Mack
are for the Playaz, the engine that makes the team run is Anderson. At
6-foot-8 and highly skilled, Anderson spends most of the game running
the point for the Playaz although his ultimate destination is that of a
point forward type at the next levels.

Anderson has a sublime
feel for the game and a mastery of changing pace and direction. Despite
his average foot speed, he often defends the oppositions top player
because of his understanding of how to use his length as a defender.

Anderson is a consistent jump shot away from being an elite prospect in 2012.

In the article last week from Boo, Kyle did not mention Gtown, it was just an oversite on his part. He doesn't like speaking to reporters or doing interviews so he just rattles off anything. He loves Gtown and coach Cox and Thompson. I am even surprised he said ACC, he has always said he wants to play in the Big East, but he is a kid. Coach Cox and I have corresponded this week so Gtown is still in there!

Thanks for the update Foots! That's great news! I'm sure the Hoyas are still high on Kyle as well. Looking forward to catching Kyle again at the Peach Jam this summer.

Great to hear--one of my favorite players no matter which class. Really like the AAU team he plays with too-and they'll win a lot of tournaments/do well due to Kyle being so focused on what it takes to win--and not just put up "numbers". Know they lost a game this year--but I still think Paterson Catholic was best team I saw all season in HS ball.

Heard that Paterson Catholic is officially closing. Sad news--because I was a huge fan of the program--good players who played as a team. Hope we get some news on where Kyle Anderson is looking at going and I really hope the guys from Paterson Catholic stay together--because that was a good group to watch--they played team ball, played hard, and carried themselves with class.

Yea, he felt terrible about it, but he understands that life goes on. We are not sure where he will go but St Pat's, St Anthony's and Hudson Catholic are all within 10-15 miles of us. Not hard to figure out our choices, lol. On another note, had a great conversation with Coach Cox last week. He said they will be following Lil Kyle all of July. I'll keep you posted on our choice!

Foots , again .. it's great to have you here in our Hoya community. Kyle is a special player and not only have I watched him play live , I'm looking forward to seeing more of him this coming season. For my own selfish reasons (although It's ashame Paterson Catholic closed), I'm excited to see where he ends up and I'm hoping it's St. Ants or Hudson Catholic. Being from Jersey City and having ties to both programs would give me the opportunity to watch Kyle play very often. Either way , I wish the young man well and that goes for when he decides on a college as well (even if he doesn't land at the Hilltop - I support all Jersey kids at the next level) .. The kid is very talented and plays beyond his age. Good luck Kyle and have a great Spring and Summer on the circuit.
